In the Section Premium Allocation, the Substitute Funds will take the
place of the Replaced Funds after the close of business of the New York Stock
Exchange on November 26, 1997. Any amounts allocated to the Replaced Funds will
automatically be allocated to the Substitute Funds after that date. The
following will be added:
Portfolio Partners Scudder International Growth Portfolio seeks long-term
growth of capital primarily through a diversified portfolio of marketable
foreign equity securities.
Portfolio Partners MFS Emerging Equities Portfolio seeks long-term growth
of capital by investing primarily in common stocks issued by companies that its
subadviser believes are early in their life cycle but which have the potential
to became major enterprises (emerging growth companies).
Portfolio Partners MFS Research Growth Portfolio seeks long-term growth of
capital and future income by investing primarily in common stocks or securities
convertible into common stocks issued by companies that the subadviser believes
to possess better-than-average prospects for long-term growth, and, to a lesser
extent, in income-producing securities including bonds and preferred stock.
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company serves as the investment adviser
to each Portfolio. Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. serves as the subadviser to
the Scudder International Growth Portfolio, and Massachusetts Financial
Services Company serves as the subadviser to the MFS Emerging Equities and MFS
Research Growth Portfolios.

Prospectus - Appendix A--Illustrations of Death Benefit, Total Account Values
and Cash Surrender Values for AetnaVest Policies
The tables have been revised as follows to reflect the applicable fund
expenses of the Substitute Funds instead of the Replaced Funds.
APPENDIX A
AETNAVEST POLICIES
Illustrations of Death Benefit, Total Account Values and Cash Surrender Values
for AetnaVest Policies
The following tables illustrate how the Total Account Values, Cash Surrender
Values, and Death Benefits of a Policy change with the investment experience of
the Funds. The tables show how the Total Account Values, Cash Surrender Values,
and Death Benefits of a Policy issued to an insured of a given age and a given
premium would vary over time if the investment return on the assets held in
each Fund were a uniform, gross, annual rate of 0%, 6%, and 12%, respectively.
Tables I through IV illustrate Policies issued to males, ages 25 and 40, in the
nonsmoker rate class. The Total Account Values, Cash Surrender Values, and
Death Benefits would be different from those shown if the gross annual
investment rates of return averaged 0%, 6%, and 12%, respectively, over a
period of years, but fluctuated above and below those averages for individual
Policy Years.
The second column of each table shows the accumulated values of the premiums
paid at the stated interest rate of 5%. The third through fifth columns
illustrated the Death Benefit of a Policy over the designated period. The sixth
through eighth columns illustrate the Total Account Values, while the ninth
through eleventh columns illustrate the Cash Surrender Values of each Policy
over the designated period. Tables II and IV assume that the maximum Cost of
Insurance Rates allowable under the Policy are charged in all Policy Years.
These tables also assume that the maximum allowable mortality and expense risk
charge of 0.90% on an annual basis is assessed in each Policy Year. Tables I
and III assume that the current scale of Cost of Insurance Rates applies during
all Policy Years. These tables also assume that the current level of mortality
and expense risk charges, which ranges from 0.55% to 0.70% on an annual basis,
is assessed. A weighted average has been used for the illustrations assuming
that the Policyowner has invested in the Funds as follows: 56% in Aetna
Variable Fund; 6% in Aetna Income Shares; 4% in Aetna Variable Encore Fund; 7%
in Aetna Investment Advisers Fund; 0% in Aetna Ascent Variable Portfolio; 0% in
Aetna Crossroads Variable Portfolio; 0% in Aetna Legacy Variable Portfolios; 5%
in Portfolio Partners MFS Emerging Equities Portfolio; 4% in Portfolio Partners
MFS Research Growth Portfolio; 1% in Fidelity's Variable Insurance Products
Fund II--Contrafund Portfolio; 1% in Fidelity's Variable Insurance Products
Fund--Equity-Income Portfolio; 3% in Janus Aspen Growth Fund; 3% in Janus Aspen
Aggressive Growth Fund; 4% in Janus Aspen Worldwide Growth Fund; 1% in Janus
Aspen Balanced Fund; and 5% in Portfolio Partners Scudder International Growth
Portfolio.
The amounts shown for the Death Benefits, Cash Surrender Values, and Total
Account Values reflect the fact that the net investment return is lower than
the gross return on the assets held in each Fund as a result of expenses paid
by the Fund and other charges levied by the Separate Account.
3
<PAGE>
The hypothetical values shown in the tables do not reflect any Separate Account
charges for federal income taxes, since we are not currently making such
charges. However, such charges may be made in the future, and in that event,
the gross annual investment rate of return would have to exceed 0%, 6%, or 12%
by an amount sufficient to cover the tax charges in order to produce the Death
Benefits, Total Account Values, and Cash Surrender Values illustrated.
The tables illustrate the Policy values that would result based upon the
hypothetical investment rates of return if premiums were paid as indicated, if
all net premiums are allocated to Variable Life Account B and if no Policy
loans have been made. The tables are also based on the assumptions that the
Policy Owner has not requested an increase or decrease in the Specified Amount
of the Policy, that no partial surrenders have been made, and that no transfer
charges have been incurred.
Upon request, we will provide an illustration based upon the proposed insured's
age, sex, and underwriting classification, the specified amount or premium
requested, the proposed frequency of premium payments and any available riders
requested. A fee of $25 is charged for each such illustration.
The hypothetical gross annual investment return assumed in such an illustration
will not exceed 12%.

Prospectus - Appendix B--Illustrations of Death Benefit, Total Account Values
and Cash Surrender Values for AetnaVest II Policies
The tables have been revised as follows to reflect the applicable fund
expenses of the Substitute Funds instead of the Replaced Funds.
APPENDIX B
AETNAVEST II POLICIES
Illustrations of Death Benefit, Total Account Values and Cash Surrender Values
for AetnaVest II Policies
The following tables illustrate how the Total Account Values, Cash Surrender
Values, and Death Benefits of a Policy change with the investment experience of
the Funds. The tables show how the Total Account Values, Cash Surrender Values,
and Death Benefits of a Policy issued to an insured of a given age and a given
premium would vary over time if the investment return on the assets held in
each Fund were a uniform, gross, annual rate of 0%, 6%, and 12%, respectively.
Tables V through VIII illustrate Policies issued to males, ages 35 and 55, in
the nonsmoker rate class. Tables IX through XII illustrate Policies issued on a
unisex basis, ages 35 and 55, in the nonsmoker rate class. These tables are
provided for use in those states where unisex rates are required. The Total
Account Values, Cash Surrender Values, and Death Benefits would be different
from those shown if the gross annual investment rates of return averaged 0%,
6%, and 12%, respectively, over a period of years, but fluctuated above and
below those averages for individual Policy Years.
The second column of each table shows the accumulated values of the premiums
paid at the stated interest rate of 5%. The third through fifth columns
illustrated the Death Benefit of a Policy over the designated period. The sixth
through eighth columns illustrate the Total Account Values, while the ninth
through eleventh columns illustrate the Cash Surrender Values of each Policy
over the designated period. Tables VI, VIII, X and XII assume that the maximum
Cost of Insurance Rates allowable under the Policy are charged in all Policy
Years. These tables also assume that the maximum allowable mortality and
expense risk charge of .90% on an annual basis, the maximum allowable
administrative charge of .50% and the maximum allowable premium load of 6% are
assessed in each Policy Year. Tables V, VII, IX and XI assume that the current
scale of Cost of Insurance Rates applies during all Policy Years. These tables
also assume that the current mortality and expense risk charge of .70% on an
annual basis, and the current premium load of 3.5% are assessed. A weighted
average has been used for the illustrations assuming that the Policyowner has
invested in the Funds as follows: 56% in Aetna Variable Fund; 6% in Aetna
Income Shares, 4% in Aetna Variable Encore Fund; 7% in Aetna Investment
Advisers Fund; 0% in Aetna Ascent Variable Portfolio; 0% in Aetna Crossroads
Variable Portfolio; 0% in Aetna Legacy Variable Portfolio; 5% in Portfolio
Partners MFS Emerging Equities Portfolio; 4% in Portfolio Partners MFS Research
Growth Portfolio; 1% in Fidelity's Variable Insurance Products Fund
II--Contrafund Portfolio; 1% in Fidelity's Variable Insurance Products
Fund-Equity Income Portfolio; 3% in Janus Aspen Growth Fund; 3% in Janus Aspen
Aggressive Growth Fund; 4% in Janus Aspen Worldwide Growth Fund; 1% in Janus
Aspen Balanced Fund; and 5% in Portfolio Partners Scudder International Growth
Portfolio.
The amounts shown for the Death Benefits, Cash Surrender Values, and total
Account Values reflect the fact that the net investment return is lower than
the gross return on the assets held in each Fund as a result of expenses paid
by each Fund and other charges levied by the Separate Account.
9
<PAGE>
The hypothetical values shown in the tables do not reflect any Separate Account
charges for federal income taxes, since we are not currently making such
charges. However, such charges may be made in the future, and in that event,
the gross annual investment rate of return would have to exceed 0%, 6%, or 12%
by an amount sufficient to cover the tax charges in order to produce the Death
Benefits, Total Account Values, and Cash Surrender Values illustrated.
The tables illustrate the Policy values that would result based upon the
hypothetical investment rates of return if premiums were paid as indicated, if
all net premiums are allocated to Variable Life Account B and if no Policy
loans have been made. The tables are also based on the assumptions that the
Policy Owner has not requested an increase or decrease in the Specified Amount
of the Policy, that no partial surrenders have been made, and that no transfer
charges have been incurred.
Upon request, we will provide an illustration based upon the proposed insured's
age, sex (if necessary), and underwriting classification, the specified amount
or premium requested, the proposed frequency of premium payments and any
available riders requested. A fee of $25 is charged for each such illustration.
The hypothetical gross annual investment return assumed in such an illustration
will not exceed 12%.

AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.)
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aetna Insurance Company of America
and Aetna Private Capital, Inc. (collectively, the "Company"). Aetna Life
Insurance and Annuity Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement
Holdings, Inc. ("HOLDCO"). HOLDCO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna
Retirement Services, Inc., whose ultimate parent is Aetna Inc. ("Aetna").
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and are unaudited. Certain
reclassifications have been made to 1996 financial information to conform to
the 1997 presentation. These interim statements necessarily rely heavily on
estimates, including assumptions as to annualized tax rates. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring
nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
notes as presented in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain
financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but that
is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.
2. Future Application of Accounting Standards
Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, was issued in
June 1996 and provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers of
financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities.
FAS No. 125 is effective for 1997 financial statements; however, certain
provisions relating to accounting for repurchase agreements and securities
lending are not effective until January 1, 1998. Provisions effective in 1997
did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results
of operations. The Company does not expect adoption of this statement for
provisions effective in 1998 to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.
3. Financial Instruments
The Company engages in hedging activities to manage interest rate and price
risks. Such hedging activities have principally consisted of using off-balance
sheet instruments such as futures and forward contracts and interest rate swap
agreements. There were no such contracts or agreements open as of March 31,
1997.
4. Severance and Facilities Charges
In the second quarter of 1996, the Company was allocated severance and
facilities reserves from Aetna to reflect actions taken or to be taken to
reduce the level of corporate expenses and other costs previously absorbed by
Aetna's property-casualty operations.

AETNA LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc.)
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(unaudited)
4. Severance and Facilities Charges (Continued)
In the third quarter of 1996, the Company established severance and facilities
reserves in the Financial Services and Individual Life Insurance segments to
reflect actions taken or to be taken in order to make its businesses more
competitive.
Activity for the three months ended March 31, 1997 within the severance and
facilities reserves (pretax, in millions) and positions eliminated related to
such actions were as follows:
Reserve Positions
---------- ----------
Balance at December 31, 1996 ...... $ 47.9 524
Actions taken (1) .................. (10.9) (88)
-------- -----
Balance at March 31, 1997 ......... $ 37.0 436
======== =====
(1) Includes $6.3 million of the Company's severance-related actions and $3.9
million of corporate allocation-related actions.
The Company's severance actions are expected to be substantially completed by
March 31, 1998. The corporate allocation actions and vacating of certain leased
office space are expected to be substantially completed in 1997.
5. Related Party Transactions
Effective December 31, 1988, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement
with Aetna Life Insurance Company ("Aetna Life") in which substantially all of
the non-participating individual life and annuity business written by Aetna
Life prior to 1981 was assumed by the Company. Effective January 1, 1997, this
agreement has been amended to transition (based on underlying investment
rollover in Aetna Life) from a modified coinsurance to a coinsurance
arrangement. As a result of this change, reserves will be ceded to the Company
from Aetna Life as investment rollover occurs and the loan previously
established will be reduced.
6. Litigation
The Company is involved in numerous lawsuits arising, for the most part, in the
ordinary course of its business operations. While the ultimate outcome of
litigation against the Company cannot be determined at this time, after
consideration of the defenses available to the Company and any related reserves
established, it is not expected to result in liability for amounts material to
the financial condition of the Company, although it may adversely affect
results of operations in future periods.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.
UNDERTAKING PURSUANT TO RULE 484
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
REPRESENTATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 26(e)(2)(A) OF
THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company represents that the fees and charges
deducted under the policies covered by this registration statement, in the
aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses
expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the insurance company.

Certification. - Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:
(1) The number shown above is my correct taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to
me), and
(2) I am not subject to backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been
notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to
report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding
(does not apply to real estate transactions, mortgage interest paid, the acquisition or abandonment of secured
property, contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), and payments other than interest and
dividends).
CERTIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS. - You must cross out item (2) above if you have been notified by IRS that you are currently
subject to backup withholding because of underreporting interest or dividends on your tax return.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The answers above are true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Unless I have a Temporary Insurance
Agreement, I agree that coverage can take effect only if the proposed insured is alive, and all answers material to the
risk are still true and complete, when the policy is delivered and the entire first premium is paid for. I agree
that no agent may alter the terms of the application, the Temporary Insurance Agreement or the policy. No agent may waive
any of Aetna's rights or requirements.
If this is a request to exercise an option in an existing policy, the request will become effective in accordance with the
terms of that option. If this is a request for change, any and all values may be used to pay for the change and to repay
any loan indebtedness. The changed policy will be subject to any loan indebtedness not repaid. Any assignment in effect
prior to this request will apply to any new insurance issued.

Statement on Form S-6
Prospectus Title: AetnaVest & AetnaVest II
File Nos. 33-76004* and 811-4536
Dear Sir or Madam:
The undersigned serves as counsel to Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company, a
Connecticut life insurance company (the "Company"). It is my understanding that
the Company, as depositor, has registered an indefinite amount of securities
(the "Securities") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") as
provided in Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment
Company Act").
In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed the S-6 Registration Statement,
as amended to the date hereof, and this Post-Effective Amendment No. 9. I have
also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of such documents, trust records and other instruments I have
deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering this opinion. For
purposes of such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures
on original documents and the conformity to the original of all copies.
I am admitted to practice law in Connecticut, and do not purport to be an expert
on the laws of any other state. My opinion herein as to any other law is based
upon a limited inquiry thereof which I have deemed appropriate under the
circumstances.
- --------
* Pursuant to Rule 429(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
has included a combined prospectus under this Registration Statement which
includes all the information which would currently be required in a
prospectus relating to the securities covered by Registration Statement No.
33-02339.
<PAGE>
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Securities have been
legally authorized and, assuming that the Securities have been issued and sold
in accordance with the provisions of the prospectus being registered, will be
legally issued.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Sincerely,
/s/ Julie E. Rockmore

Re: AetnaVest and AetnaVest II (File No. 33-76004)
Dear Sir or Madam:
In my capacity as Actuary of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company (ALIAC), I
have provided actuarial advice concerning ALIAC's AetnaVest and AetnaVest II
Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policies (the "Policies"). I
also provided actuarial advice concerning the preparation of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 9 to Registration Statement on Form S-6, File No. 33-76004 (the
"Registration Statement") for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the Policies.
In my opinion the illustrations of benefits under the Policies included in the
prospectus under the captions "Illustrations of Death Benefit, Total Account
Values and Cash Surrender Values For AetnaVest Policies" and "Illustrations of
Death Benefit, Total Account Values and Cash Surrender Values For AetnaVest II
Policies" are, based on the assumptions stated in the illustrations, consistent
with the provisions of the respective forms of the Policies. Also, in my opinion
the age selected in the illustrations is representative of the manner in which
the Policies operate.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
